Manhunt At Atmore Prison: No Escape; Suspects Tried To Toss Items Over Fence
February 19, 2014
A manhunt was under Wednesday afternoon along and near Highway 21 and the Fountain Correctional Facility north of Atmore.
Two people reportedly tried to toss contraband over the prison’s fence and into the facility. One was taken into custody while the second suspect fled on foot. The area was secured by local and state law enforcement. K-9 were used in the search for the suspect.
At last report, the second suspect had not been arrested.
The Fountain Correctional Facility is located on 8,200 acres that directly parallels Highway 21 just north of I-65.
Officials said there has been no escape from the medium security prison; officials have accounted for all prisoners.
